1001 Albums Summary

Dug the title track and N.I.B. The rest is a little indulgent for my tastes. Cool album cover.

Title track is good. The rest sucks.

Love the songs I already knew. The newer ones to me were fine, but unmemorable

Not for me

More fun than expected.

Hadn’t heard this before, but I liked it. Good wordplay

This album rules

Too weird for me. Hard to say it was even influential if I’ve never heard it mentioned ever.

Solsbury Hill is an all timer. Not much else good on this.

The singles are strong, the rest not so much.

Pump it Up is great, but not much on this suggests I should end my 50+ year streak of largely ignoring this dude.

This sucks

Not for me.

Good production value, kinda boring otherwise

I mean, whatever…

I never need to hear this again.

This is terrific

Meh

This is kinda fun.

Good fun.

Not quite to the level of the banana album, but I really liked it.

Beautiful harmonies.

Boring techno music

I’ve actively hated all the techno-adjacent albums I’ve been served, but I like this a lot.

This is as good as remembered.

The exorcist theme, then 43 more minutes of prog rock nonsense

This album sucks. Might be the worst shit I have ever heard.

I like the sound, but the rapid fire songs one minute after another don’t give time for any one song to register.

Pleasant album, with a handful of great singles

Boring new wave album

It was ok. I liked the ones I remembered from back in the day.

This is terrible. More recent techno crap.

I had heard they were the third wheel of the Oasis/Blur Brit pop duality, but I liked it. Might not return to it too often, but it was good.

Meh. Probably better than Dylan at Budokan, in a “skinniest kid at fat camp” way.

This is fine. Not unpleasant.

Prog rock nonsense. Garbage

This is pleasant enough. Doubt I come back to it ever, though.

Fine enough. Unmemorable.

Not my jam

I like them, but this album is a little boring, compared to later albums I like more.

A lesser Byrds album, but still enjoyable.

Great album. No skips.

This was fun. Didn’t understand a word, but dug the vibes.

Lotta talent here.

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually listened to a KISS album straight through. Dumb, but a fun enough listen.

Interesting mix of instruments.

Great album.

Coupla good singles, and the worst Beatles cover I’ve ever heard

Oh hell yeah.

I liked it. I bet it will grow on me, too.

Meh. I like New Order a lot better

More prog nonsense, tempered by a touch of Fairport Convention

Very strange, but somehow on my wavelength

This hits are better than the filler, but great overall.

Hadn’t heard this all the way through in years, but it was great

I liked it. Not quite as good as Waiting for the Sun, but a great debut.

Decent singles, no memorable deep cuts

Overly theatrical for my tastes, but not terrible, I guess

It’s fine. A portent of good things to come.

Unlistenable garbage.

I was enjoying this. Probably need to revisit.

This album is undeniable

This was fun. I’ll give it a few more spins.

I liked it, but not as much as I expected to.

This album rules

There are better Who albums, but it’s not bad.

Disc 2 dragged a little, costing it a fifth star, but great album overall

Not everything is for me, and that’s okay.

This sucks
